I have been painting portraits of both the most obscure and famous blues artists for several years and have been fortunate to have them exhibited for sale in the birthplace of the Delta blues, Clarksdale, Mississippi.
I was also fortunate to find myself in the enviable circumstance of personally presenting to MORGAN FREEMAN a painting that I did for him of the interior of his blues club in Clarksdale, The Ground Zero Blues Club.
This painting, incidentally, is permanently displayed in Morgan Freeman's upscale restaurant, MADIDI, there in Clarksdale as per his direction.
I have photos of many of my portraits posted on my personal website, along with several photos taken at blues festivals and clubs in the Delta area. Most recently I have added several of my own original song lyrics and a blog page which is sort of written as an autobiography.There will be new additions almost daily posted to this site.
Of course I happily accept commissions for portraits, and I work well from photographs.
